Advanced Aortic Care Close to Home: Understanding TBE Surgery
Aortic aneurysms and dissections are serious, life-threatening conditions that often require complex surgical care. In this episode of Wise and Well, cardiothoracic surgeon Dr. Ryan Vela and vascular surgeon Dr. David Blitzer discuss Thoracic Branched Endoprosthesis (TBE)—an innovative, minimally invasive procedure now available at Community Memorial Healthcare. Discover how this collaborative approach allows the duo to repair complex aortic conditions through tiny incisions, eliminating the need for major open-heart surgery or traveling outside Ventura County for advanced care.
